Source-derived summary

We:th (stylized as WE:TH) is the tenth extended play by South Korean boy group Pentagon. The EP was released digitally and physically on October 12, 2020, by Cube Entertainment, eight months after their first studio album Universe: The Black Hall released in February. The album is the group's first release without member Jinho, who was completing his mandatory military service. After a 440-day hiatus due to health reason, member Yan An participated in the album. The physical version is available in two versions: "Seen" and "Unseen".

The group continues its reputation as a self-made idol group by participating in the lyrics and composition of all six tracks. The lead single "Daisy" was composed by members Hui and Wooseok with Nathan. Only through physical album, the EP features Jinho's self-composed solo song "I'm Here".

Commercially, the album recorded 64,045 copies of one-week sales, making Pentagon's best selling work since debut. It debuted and charted at number 4 on the Gaon Album Chart, giving them their fourth top 4 hit.

Its value is orientation rather than verdict, with extended, play and Pentagon providing the first useful test.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

Evidence profile

Critical limits

Later fame can flatten the distinction between original context, subsequent adaptation and institutional collecting history. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
